Col Rouge says: "... federal police[are] employed to make our society safe from terrorists and not a haven safe for terrorists." I agree.

That's why I want them to be skilful - and totally respectful of the law and due process.

If they are going to produce a 'result' merely because their political masters demand it in an election year, none of us is safe. And we all stand to lose when they are captive of their masters' political agendas.

LIBERALS CLASH WITH NATIONALS OVER HANEEF

It appears that a key member of the Government is admitting Dr Haneef's incarceration is drifting further from a crime that occurred in Britain and more towards pre-electoral desperation:

The Herald Sun today http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22123510-662,00.html reported

"THE legal team for Dr Mohamed Haneef continued its battle to free the accused terror suspect as the Government yesterday admitted it cancelled his visa purely to keep him in the country.

[NATIONAL PARTY'S] Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile said that [LIBERAL PARTY] Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews' decision to cancel Dr Haneef's visa immediately after he was granted bail in a Brisbane Magistrates' Court last week was "to ensure the individual stayed in Australia".

The Government's admission was another boost for Dr Haneef's team, which has been outspoken of the Australian Federal Police and the Government's handling of the case.

Last week, Mr Andrews revoked Dr Haneef's visa, despite his bail conditions including him surrendering his passport.

Mr Vaile's admission caught Mr Andrews -- who spent most of last week justifying his decision on character and national security -- by surprise, his office referring calls on the matter back to Mr Vaile".

Rapid Government denials are expected. The Government now appears under too much pressure to deny things convincingly - however much it exposes the AFP to political campaigning.

The Government may well be saving up its touted secret evidence for hearings in August - closer to the election - great timing - more strategic Government leaks before that?

How ironic, roughly 20 years ago Terry Gilliam released his first film as a director, the film was called "Brazil".

I thought then it was an exceptionally accurate representation of the past and present in some parts of the world.

Now regretably, Brazil is here in this country and looks like will be our future at least for a while.

How sad...

Have a look at "The Trials of Dr Haneef" ABC Four Corners, to see that Haneef's body language shows that he is concealing truth.
Then listen carefully to his final quote from the Koran of "Truth will come out. And falsehood shall vanish. And falsehood is ever to be banished."
Everyone presumes that Haneef meant the "falsehoods" of his charges, whereas it is also a very sly and literal reference of the triumph of Islam over Infidels.
Our Liberalism is being used against us.
